Goose Island Credit Music: Pure Sunray, "Caramel," Pure Sunray, 2013.Many have recorded their own versions, but no one did it like The Animals and vocalist Eric Burdon. The station was playing the 500 greatest songs of all time, and " House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals hit him like a bolt. Just as Jim recalled a "summer song" last week, Greg remembers listening to AM radio in his parents' kitchen. Greg paraglides into the desert island this week with a nod to his past. So while Run the Jewels is free, it's still a Try It. Jim admits El-P is a genius producer, but is disappointed by the lyrical content. It's like breathless, old-school battle rapping with great beats to boot. Greg hears the two rappers "blowing off steam." But that shouldn't suggest Run The Jewels is a blow-off. Now the two come together again to form Run the Jewels and release a self-titled album. Music, the album he produced for Killer Mike. Last year we got El-P's Cancer 4 Cure and R.A.P. He also credits them with inventing "indie." Run The Jewels Killer Mike But he insists that the band wouldn't have lasted another two weeks musically, they achieved everything they could. Greg asks Marr about the almost insane decision to quit The Smiths at the height of their fame. He admits that some of the lyrical content isn't that far from the songs he wrote as a lad, but lucky for us he was weened on great guitar pop from T. Mostly, he explains to Jimand Greg, he thought about all the fans he meets at shows (all but one fan). On The Messenger Marr isn't afraid to harken back to his Smiths sound. So perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that it took three decades for him to go solo. Then there's Bernard Sumner, Billy Bragg, Bert Jansch, The Cribs and Modest Mouse. First, there's his most famous partnership: with Morrissey in The Smiths. Johnny Marr is something of a serial collaborator. Clearly TheStones can still bring out the crowds, but can they deliver the musical goods? Greg's answer is a hesitant "yes." He caught them in Chicago and admits that while he wishes they'd throw more surprises into the set-list, the boys can still play. Forty-four years after their free concert honoring Brian Jones, the band performed to a crowd of 60,000 paying customers. This tour also saw TheStones' return to London's revered Hyde Park venue. Billboard reports that the band recently grossed $21.3 million in just five concerts on their "50 & Counting Tour." Not bad for a bunch of rockers pushing 70.
